To the contrary aluminum is a paramagnetic material. Take a look at the early mechanical speedometers used in cars. They used a spinning magnet inside an aluminum ring. The eddy currents from the spinning magnet applies a torque on the aluminum ring which then pushes a spring loaded needle around the speedometer dial. The torque produced by the aluminum ring is proportional to the speed of the spinning magnet.
Whether it is eddy currents or static, the more error correction needed while reading the disc the more the music is affected.
If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...
I would rather imagine that most audiophiles are aware of this, but if not, may I recommend a very easy tweak that has always produced positive results in every system I've had:
Ayre - Irrational, But Efficacious!
Densen - DeMagic
These are System Enhancement Discs which reduces magnetism that has built up during playback. I'm pretty sure there are other products that purport to do the same thing. These two have certainly worked for me. Good listening!!

Certainly plausible. The premise seems to be that these test/conditioning CDs have an effect on the entire audio system chain rather than only the CD playing portion. Whatever the case may ultimately be, the overall end result was a net gain in my audio system. I would encourage those who are curious to spend the 20.00 dollars and come to your own conclusion.

Thank you @charles1dad |
I’m sorry to go on a tangent…but with all the talk here about the need to “de-magnetize” I’m trying to understand the concept particularly when a big buck hi fidelity cable company is marketing their product as the new paradigm in sound. But don’t (from what I’ve read in the ads) they basically have alot of magnets in their cables? PLEASE CLARIFY |
